Isaac Hers Chambers - Show

This past Saturday night I had the pleasure of attending the showcase of Isaac Hers' Fall fashion line at Chambers - A Benefit Fashion Show for Planned Parenthood.  What a treat.  Beginning with a showcase from the Woodlands and How to Talk to Girls presenting PINO, followed by a quick catwalk featuring what is currently available at Isaac Hers.  Then the main course, Fall 2012.

Unfortunately, I didn't snap any photos myself but Ryan Fish over at Marrow Mag was generous enough to share some images with me.  These are a few of my favorite looks that graced the runway on Saturday.  Enjoy.

Monday's Dress

I am in love with this feminine and playful little number.  The Kimono Cocktail Dress by Gretchen Jones on sale now at Frances May.

The Future by Charles Schridde

Since the weather out my window has taken a turn for the worse, I find myself daydreaming about cozy and modern futures past and present.  I think Charles Schridde for Motorola illustrated it best.  

Find these and more images here.

Spring into Organization

Two images that inspire some serious spring cleaning and reorganization of the apartment.

The first image is from apartment therapy but I found it here and the second one is from modern design.

Good luck this week.

Spring Stripes

An oldie but a goodie... One of my initial attempts at working with Prismacolor Markers.  

Recent Problem Area

I am on the hunt for a little extra storage to increase cooking productivity and counter space.  Anyone know of a cart or shelf available that would fit these dimensions?

An Excellent Weekend Trek

The husband and I completed this fun loop on Saturday.  If you are looking to get out in the sunshine and see some sights and stunning views of downtown, look into the 4T Trail (Train, Trail, Tram, Trolley).  For more information check here and here.  Oh, and Happy Easter.

The Necessary Sauce...

... for a spicy weekend.  See you on Monday.

Here's to a Warmer + Dryer Weekend

Long Ago and Across the River...

We stopped into the Lloyd Center yesterday to do a little shopping.  While strolling past the strong aroma of Cinnabon and young ladies receiving lessons at the Ice Chalet, I wanted to know what this place would have looked like 40 or 50 years ago, when it was an open air mall.  Thanks to the help of Google and Malls of America images from that time are available below.  Happy Thursday.

Glacier National... Comfort

With the return of the rain this morning, curling up on the couch and hanging with my buddy Netflix seems most enchanting.  However curling up on the couch with this in hand... 

...and this over me would be even better.
